Abstract

High-temperature, low-cycle fatigue behavior of the new heat-resistant aluminum alloy was investigated in this study. The aluminum alloy consists of aluminum matrix and small amount of precipitated Mg2Si and (Co, Ni)3Al4 strengthening particles. At room temperature and 523 K, the yield and tensile strengths of Al-Mg-Si-(Co, Ni) the aluminum alloy were maintained with no significant decrease, and elongation increased slightly. Low-cycle fatigue tests controlled by total strain were performed with strain ratio (R) = −1, strain rate = 2×10-3 s-1 at 523 K. The fatigue limit of the low-cycle fatigue of this alloy showed plastic strain amplitude (Δε pa) of 0.22% at 103 cycles. This value was superior to that of conventional aluminum alloy such as A319. The results of the fractographical observation showed that second phases, especially (Co, Ni)3Al4 particles, affected fatigue behavior. This study also attempted to clarify the mechanism of high-temperature, low-cycle fatigue deformation of Al-Mg-Si-(Co, Ni) alloy in relation to its microstructure and energy dissipation analysis.
